    The key fallacy and weakness of the UN being the idea that any national
    government is as good as any other, and that nations are equivalent to
    individuals. Well, here we don't allow felons to vote, yet felonious,
    homicidal and genocidal governments vote in the UN all the time.

    What is needed is a pan-human AllThing.
